Ang 1303

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: My Friend, my Best Friend, my Lord and Master, is near. He sees and hears everything; He is with everyone. You are here for such short time — why do you do evil? ||1|| Pause|| Except for the Naam, whatever you are involved with is nothing — nothing is yours. Hereafter, everything is revealed to your gaze; but in this world, all are enticed by the darkness of doubt. ||1|| People are caught in Maya, attached to their children and spouses. They have forgotten the Great and Generous Giver. Says Nanak, I have one article of faith; my Guru is the One who releases me from bondage. ||2||6||25||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Your Saints have overwhelmed the wicked army of corruption. They take Your Support and place their faith in You, O my Lord and Master; they seek Your Sanctuary. ||1|| Pause|| Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, the residues of the terrible sins of countless lifetimes are erased. I am illumined, enlightened and filled with ecstasy. I am intuitively absorbed in Samaadhi. ||1|| Who says that You cannot do everything? You are Infinitely All-powerful. O Treasure of Mercy, Nanak savors Your Love and Your Blissful Form, earning the Profit of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||7||26||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: The drowning mortal is comforted and consoled, meditating on the Lord. He is rid of emotional attachment, doubt, pain and suffering. ||1|| Pause|| I meditate in remembrance, day and night, on the Guru’s Feet. Wherever I look, I see Your Sanctuary. ||1|| By the Grace of the Saints, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Meeting with the Guru, Nanak has found peace. ||2||8||27||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, peace of mind is found. Meeting the Holy Saint, sing the Praises of the Lord. ||1|| Pause|| Granting His Grace, God has come to dwell within my heart. I touch my forehead to the feet of the Saints. ||1|| Meditate, O my mind, on the Supreme Lord God. As Gurmukh, Nanak listens to the Praises of the Lord. ||2||9||28||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: My mind loves to touch the Feet of God. My tongue is satisfied with the Food of the Lord, Har, Har. My eyes are contented with the Blessed Vision of God. ||1|| Pause|| My ears are filled with the Praise of my Beloved; all the foul residues of my sinful mistakes and faults are erased. My feet follow the Path of Peace to my Lord and Master; my body and limbs joyfully blossom forth in the Society of the Saints. ||1|| I have taken Sanctuary in my Perfect, Eternal, Imperishable Lord. I do not bother trying anything else. Taking them by the hand, O Nanak, God saves His humble servants; they shall not perish in the deep, dark world-ocean. ||2||10||29||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: Those fools who bellow with rage and destructive deceit, are crushed and killed innumerable times. ||1|| Pause|| Intoxicated with egotism and imbued with other tastes, I am in love with my evil enemies. My Beloved watches over me as I wander through thousands of incarnations. ||1|| My dealings are false, and my lifestyle is chaotic. Intoxicated with the wine of emotion, I am burning in the fire of anger. O Merciful Lord of the World, Embodiment of Compassion, Relative of the meek and the poor, please save Nanak; I seek Your Sanctuary. ||2||11||30||

KAANRAA, FIFTH MEHL: The Giver of the soul, the breath of life and honor — forgetting the Lord, all is lost. ||1|| Pause|| You have forsaken the Lord of the Universe, and become attached to another — you are throwing away the Ambrosial Nectar, to take dust. What do you expect from corrupt pleasures? You fool! What makes you think that they will bring peace? |1|| |Engrossed in unfulfilled sexual desire, unresolved anger and greed, you shall be consigned to reincarnation. But I have entered the Sanctuary of the Purifier of sinners. O Nanak, I know that I shall be saved. ||2||12||31||
